Notice
Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is sharing updates about off-the-record communications related to ongoing cases. If someone sends a secret message that’s not allowed, it gets logged but usually won’t affect decisions unless fairness calls for it. This keeps the process fair and transparent for everyone involved, with no extra costs or delays expected.
